Thanks, Bill, for the reply.

I think I have read everything at Tom Yost's great site. It appears that this specific variation (Sea Cruiser-R) was built by someone else other than Mike. The closest convention that I saw that has a good pic of the frame was the Sea Otter-R (http://www.yostwerks.com/SeaOtterFrame1.html). It also does not have inwale stingers, but this craft is only 15'. This shot is partly what compelled me to pose the question to this forum. It uses three deck stringers, though the outside two may be smaller diameter (not sure). Some people put extra strength into the read deck for doing rolls. I am more concerned about weight.

I will email Tom, I just thought feedback, experience and some pics from someone who have built this specific design would be helpful. Tom has obviously already put so much into this site that I was hesitant to bug him.
